Introduction
Good day, everyone. We are here to share Lesson 2 of the 2nd edition of the 101 Course: Man Needs God to Live. The very act of living is a wondrous thing. Recalling the previous lesson, we find that people almost invariably encounter spiritual matters when they are alive, so real is the spiritual realm. People often describe the spiritual realm and paranormal events, but when it comes to whether there is a God, they all say there is none. In truth, where there are ghosts, there is God, and where there is God, there are ghosts. These two things are connected. The spiritual realm controls the affairs of the world. Today, the entire global geopolitical environment is playing out Investiture of the Gods daily, and these things do not shift according to human will. We think that people have done certain things that have led to today's situation, but in reality, people have done nothing. It is all the work of God.
Some time ago, there was a joke made in one place. The people there actually did nothing, but during the pandemic, nothing happened. Therefore, when it came to international rankings, the country had the lowest morbidity rate in the world, and the conclusion was that they had the best epidemic control. But what people did not understand was that the reason why there was no epidemic in this place was simply because the demons behind the epidemic did not go there to cause trouble. What is there to be proud of? As a result, recently, there has been trouble. The epidemic began to attack this place, and the entire city had power outages and water outages, and the epidemic became uncontrollable. Before, they thought they were quite powerful. How could they have fallen to this point? Because these things do not shift according to human will.
Some people say that this is national destiny because they see that no matter how much the country is tossed about, it is still on an upward trend. People are often like this. Some people do not necessarily have three heads and six arms. They all have two eyes, one nose, and one head. They do not have horns on their heads or hair on their faces, but they make money. If you ask them how they make money, they do not know themselves. Because they have that kind of luck, and this kind of luck is also a spiritual matter.
Since being alive is a spiritual matter, we must now talk about how man needs God to live. Because God is a Spirit, and in the spiritual realm, God is greatest. Furthermore, it must be clear that there are two kinds of people in this world: one kind are called blessed people, and the other kind are called cursed people. Some people are very unlucky. They create their own future with their own hands, which is very hard, but they are not blessed. And those who create the future with God are blessed and enjoy it very much.
A Lesson Summarized from the Woman with the Issue of Blood: Man Needs God to Live
There is a story in the Bible about a woman with an issue of blood who was healed by touching the fringe of Jesus' garment. Don't mess around thinking that getting sick is also God's grace. In fact, people with an issue of blood do not want to have an issue of blood. No one likes to have this disease. People know what is good and what is not good. This disease is not a good thing. For a while, I was eating with a friend whose boss had started a new company and arranged for him to be the general manager. Chinese people are striving for perfection, so his boss gave the company a name called Yijing, which sounds like seminal emission, which is troublesome. Later, when he and my friends were drinking together, they started laughing when they talked about this name. How could they have taken such a name? My friend said, Why not just call it 'Impotence'? I also gave it another name called Issue of Blood.
Therefore, everyone knows that Issue of Blood is not good. When naming children or companies, do not take names like Issue of Blood. If a child is given such a name, he will not be able to get along at school in the future. No one wants disease. Who wants to be called Seminal Emission? No one wants to be called Impotence either. No one likes these names, including cancer and ankylosing spondylitis. But people don't have the final say about these things.
This woman, who had had an issue of blood for twelve years, had spent all her living on physicians, but no one could heal her. Why couldn't she be healed? Because there was a demon behind it. So when this woman heard that Jesus was about to pass by, she suddenly had hope. Why did she have hope? Because the money was all spent. If she had money, she could continue to spend it at the hospital. If Jesus passed by, she might not come to find Jesus because she still had hope.
This woman crowded in beside Jesus. She thought in her heart, If I only touch His garment, I shall be made well. When she went to touch Him, she was still bleeding underneath. As a result, after touching Jesus, her issue of blood stopped, and she was healed. This was really amazing. I like this kind of story because behind this story there is a very simple logic: How did she not ask Jesus for His opinion? She just touched Him, and Jesus did not agree, but power went out from Jesus and ran into this woman. This power in this woman solved her issue of blood.
Everyone must know that there is such a thing called power . The word power is very important, because honour, glory, power, and authority all belong to our God. It is very unpleasant to say that someone has no power. I think that with my explanation, many people with impotence and seminal emission also need this kind of power. After this woman was healed, Jesus asked, Who touched Me? The woman knew that she could not hide, so she came to Jesus and told Him how she wanted to touch Jesus and that she had touched Jesus. As a result, Jesus said a word: Daughter, your faith has made you well. Go in peace.
There are several things in this story that are worth considering: God did not agree to heal her, so how was she healed? Why did God heal her? How was she healed? This is very interesting, especially since she did not ask Jesus to pray for her, but she was healed just by touching Jesus. Many people who come among us have also been healed. There are testimonies every day, and there are so many.
For example, there was a young man who used to have severe depression. His pastor was very enthusiastic and arranged for him to do homework in the ministry. In fact, he was a little reluctant. I also knew that he was reluctant, and he was still hard-mouthed. Then I received him and told him about it. As a result, he left the group. In fact, he had received a lot of healing among us, but the problem was that there was a threshold in the middle, that it was OK for him to be healed, but it was not OK to take another step forward. There are many people who come among us who are healed. So what happened that made people be healed? It is that Jesus has surely borne our griefs and carried our sorrows.
For the woman with the issue of blood, although Jesus had not yet been scourged or crucified at that time, in the spiritual world, this matter had already been settled. Jesus was to bear scourging for her illnesses, and by His stripes this woman was healed. So who bore this kind of disease with an issue of blood? Jesus bore it. Whether it is an issue of blood, blindness, congenital lameness, or other diseases, people's illnesses are inseparable from curses. Speaking of this, I am very grateful because Jesus has surely borne our curses, and our transgressions and sins have all run to Jesus. Jesus has borne these punishments for us, and by His chastisement we have peace. Although Jesus had not yet gone to the cross, the people He touched were healed because He bore these diseases on His shoulders.
Diseases are inextricably linked to curses and spiritual things. When this woman touched Jesus, power ran from Jesus to her because Jesus bore our curses and carried our sorrows, and by His stripes we are healed. So Jesus said, Your faith has made you well. So you see, God is very generous. As long as you believe, you will receive God's grace. Some people say, Don't fool me. I don't think that Chinese Mingding Destiny does things this way. Then how is it not this way? When you come among us, first, we don't take your money; second, we don't ask you for anything. We only ask that you receive grace, that's all. If you receive it, what is your interpretation of this matter? Is it because your faith has saved you? Actually, it is not that simple.
This woman with the issue of blood, why wasn't she healed by touching a telephone pole on the street? Why wasn't she healed by touching a wall? Why wasn't she healed by touching a sewer pipe or a water pipe? It is a joke to say that if she touched a high-voltage wire, she would definitely be healed, because this touch would be the end. One touch would completely solve the problem. So why was she healed by touching Jesus? Because Jesus bore our diseases and carried our sorrows. This is an amazing thing. Why can you be healed when you come among us? Because there are a lot of people here who imitate Jesus, and the Spirit of God dwells among us. Why does the Spirit of God dwell among us? Because we are building His church here according to the word of God. This church is the body of Jesus Christ. It is just that simple.
You must know for sure that this woman with the issue of blood touched a treasure. As a result, as soon as she touched the treasure, Jesus said to her, Daughter, your faith has made you well. Go in peace. These words are quite profound, and ordinary people do not analyze this sentence. The woman with the issue of blood touched Jesus, that is, she touched a treasure. So when Jesus told her to go in peace, did she go or stay? Later, when Jesus ascended to heaven, there was no longer any record of what this woman with the issue of blood did. Although there is no record, because I have ministered to many people, I can tell you that such people really left.
Why do many people get an issue of blood? Why do they get cancer? Why do they get this disease or that disease? It is all because people's thoughts and intentions are not clear about the fact that people need God to live, and they all live in myths. To put it in Versaille terms, in my case, if I were as smart as I am, I would definitely know that Jesus is a treasure as soon as I touched Him and was healed. This is a very simple truth, but it is also an amazing thing. If I were this daughter and Jesus said to me, Daughter, your faith has made you well. Go in peace, I would say, Jesus, I will follow you to the death in this life. Wherever you go, I will go. Your God is my God!
Jesus said to go in peace, but where can you go in this life? As a result, the woman with the issue of blood really left. She had no God before, so she suffered from an issue of blood. When Jesus healed her, He just said, You go in peace, and then she left again. But the garbage in her head has not been removed. Where did she go? She went to play chess and make money. I said earnestly that we are all people who touch treasures. Do not easily give them up. If I had an issue of blood and was healed by touching Jesus, then I would definitely know that this is a treasure, and I would continue to dig!
For example, you find a ditch and start digging. After digging, the water flowing out of the ditch has gold shining in it. Then you must understand that you have dug into a gold mine and you must continue to dig. If you go back to the days of the American gold rush, you would stake out your claim and put up a fence, and that would be your territory. Then you would start hiring people, buying machines, and mining gold, because you know there is a treasure there. I ask everyone, do we dig enough for treasures? If your pastor says to you, Go in peace, what will you do? You must understand that this is just testing you.
When I touch a treasure, my choice is not to go anywhere. I will wholeheartedly follow Jesus, because this is my treasure, my gold mine! If we talk about it in modern terms, Jesus is my chip, my artificial intelligence, my core technology! If a person has a similar experience in his life, can he see the essence through the phenomenon? This essence is that we need God. Don't have an issue of blood today and an anal fistula tomorrow. If you're not leaking urine today, you're leaking stool tomorrow. If you really become like that, what can people do? Can people not need God? People encounter too many problems in this life. Therefore, if you see the essence through the phenomenon and grasp the essence, the problem becomes very simple.
Understand What It Means to Live
From the woman with the issue of blood, we have summarized a lesson: Man needs God to live. People live in this world, and there are too many problems with living. No matter how advanced science is, there are still several problems that people cannot solve. What is the most difficult problem? It is disease. As the saying goes, there is nothing worse than having a disease, and there is nothing worse than not having money. The problems of people living are ever-changing, but there is only one solution in the spiritual realm: to trust in God. Jesus has completely solved the problem of disease. No one can perform the healings He performed, and they are fast, good, and have no side effects. Many brothers and sisters come among us with diseases, and I can boldly say that we have really solved many disease problems.
In this generation, a small coronavirus has thrown the world into chaos. Some people are quarantined for two weeks, some for three weeks, and some for four weeks. If people believe in Jesus, know the power of Jesus, and know that Jesus is a treasure, then the coronavirus may not come. But there are too few people in this world who trust in God. People just want to rely on themselves. They think that it is shameful to rely on Jesus and that it is glorious to rely on themselves. As a result, they are all like this woman with the issue of blood, and they go in peace. There are many, many people who have an issue of blood but do not come to touch Jesus, and the end result is that they all leave. This is all because too few people trust in God, and people have too many problems.
Combining Lesson 1, we must also know that all problems have spiritual roots. Demons often reveal some information to me, and they like to chat with me very much. One day I was casting out a demon, and after I knocked the demon down, it started talking to me. It said, Do you know what I'm doing? I said, I don't know. Tell me. It said that it was passing by a certain place and met so-and-so, and then it blew a breath of air, and as a result, that person's car overturned into the valley. I later found out that this was really the case. That person's car really overturned into the valley. This is a spiritual matter. How are these things so coincidental? It is so coincidental that as soon as a person crosses the road, a car comes over and kills him. Where can you go to reason about this? So if people have too many problems, then there is only one answer, that is, they have no power and authority in the spiritual realm.
If a person is lying in a coffin, then the problems of living are all solved, but the problem of eternal life is still not solved. If you are only in your twenties or thirties now, you may not know how short life is. When you live to be over fifty or sixty years old, you will find that life is very short, just a few years. Throughout a person's life, whether it is life or death, it is a spiritual matter. What is death? Separation from God is called death. The union of man and God is called life, is called eternal life, and the eternal separation of man and God is called eternal death.
Everyone must know that not only do people need God to live, but people need God from birth to death. There are too many things we cannot control, and too few things we can control. It is important to see through what it means to live. If we can see through it, we will understand that all of this is vanity. If people cannot see through it when they are alive, it is easy for them to live and live and not be vain. I often see brothers and sisters among us, even pastors, who live and live and then love the world. This is because they have forgotten the reality of the spiritual realm and have begun to take the little things in the world very seriously.
One of our pastors encountered some issues. As I was ministering to him, I asked, What do you see through this? He didn't understand. I told him, Through this, we see how detestable the evil spirits are, and how corrupt their schemes are. Therefore, what people need most in life is God's grace, God's power, and to live out God's image while alive. When we leave this world, we can return to God.
I once visited a place where a wealthy brother invited me for a meal. During the meal, he asked me a question: A pastor came here who said that 999 out of 1,000 people will go to hell, and only one will go to heaven. I like to argue occasionally, so I said, Has this pastor been there? If he hasn't, don't listen to his nonsense. When I said the pastor was talking nonsense, my friend wanted to hear my thoughts. I said, When people live like God, they return to God; when they live like demons, they go to where the demons are.
That's really how it is. I have the Bible as my basis. In the fifth chapter of Genesis, only Enoch returned to God; all the others died. Why? Because only Enoch walked with God. Only when we look at everything with a spiritual perspective and spiritual logic will we understand what life, death, and being alive are all about. I ask everyone, do Christians need to fear death? If Christians still fear death, then they are Christians in vain. For it is the Spirit that gives life. Our spirit returning to God is an exceedingly good thing. Don't be confused.
All things in life are vanity, except for one thing: the spiritual realm is real, God is real, and people need God's power. Therefore, while we are alive, we must live out God's dignity, authority, glory, and power. From the woman with the issue of blood and the things the brothers and sisters have experienced, what can you summarize? What can be summarized is that we cannot solve diseases or sudden disasters, but with Jesus, we can solve them.
God Has Prepared Grace for Us
The woman with the issue of blood was healed the moment she touched Jesus. If she had saved all her money and waited to touch Jesus, she could have tithed and had nine-tenths left for herself. But she had spent all her living on the disease and had nothing left. Then, after she was healed, she went back to making money, but who knows when the issue of blood would return? The grace that Jesus has prepared for us is free, and the barrier to entry is low. As long as you believe, you will receive it with a touch. Where can you find such a good deal? But after touching the treasure, this woman didn't comprehend anything.
Some muddled Christians imagine God like people, thinking that they cannot do something, and God cannot do it either; they think they are the highest standard. But our God can do anything. God gives the grace that He has prepared to whoever wants it. The barrier to entry is very low, just believe. How difficult is it to believe? It doesn't cost a cent. If a hospital asks him to pay 100,000 yuan, he is willing to do so; but he is unwilling to receive grace that doesn't cost a cent, which shows how foolish people are. You must know that this grace is free but priceless because it was bought for us by Jesus' blood and sacrifice on the cross. The spiritual realm is very real. We have all sinned and fallen short of God. Not only have we fallen short of God, but when people sin, the devil legitimately does corrupting work on us. The knowledge of good and evil is the root of all problems.
Jesus has indeed borne our transgressions and carried our sorrows. By His stripes, we are healed; by His poverty, we are made rich; by His precious blood, we are cleansed; by His punishment, we have peace. This gospel is really good. How low is the barrier to entry for the grace that God has prepared? It doesn't cost a cent. But don't get me wrong. If you receive God's grace and don't comprehend anything, and still don't know that people need God in life, then you are too muddled. People's disasters, diseases, sufferings, all of these things require God. The barrier to entry for God's grace is so low, but people run away after receiving it. Seeing these people, I like to say a catchphrase: Stupid, your head is full of shit!
The gospel of Jesus Christ is specially prepared for us by God. Our God is so rich; He controls the universe and loves us and wants to save us. Recently, a spaceship flew 20 billion kilometers to the boundary of the solar system. The spaceship turned its head and took a picture of Earth, but it turned out that Earth could not be seen at all. The people on Earth couldn't see anything either because the vastness of the universe is unimaginable.
When you know how great our God is, how much our God loves us, how glorious God has prepared for us, and that the grace He has prepared for us is free but priceless, then if you touch Jesus today and leave like that woman, then you are a stupid person. So, you must hold on to Jesus, receive grace, and then receive even more. As we deepen our understanding of Jesus in the spiritual realm and know the power of God's authority, we must resolve to say to God: I will follow you closely all my life, and I want to understand your plan.
After Experiencing, We Must Understand God's Plan
Compared to the experiences of many brothers and sisters, the miracles and wonders I experienced when I first believed in the Lord were not so great or so vast. It was just that God blessed me with a job when I was poor. The experience of God blessing me with that job is legendary; it's just incredible. I'll tell you briefly. Three months after I started working, the boss held a tea party, where everyone ate together. He came over to me and said, Do you know? It's a miracle that you got this job. I said I didn't know; how is it a miracle? I knew that besides having a personality, I was nothing at the time. My English was terrible, not up to par at all, and my technique was far from good. He said, At that time, I had a stack of resumes in front of me, and I laid my hands on them and prayed.
Because he had just been a Christian for a year at that time, he was extremely unlucky and wanted to jump off a building. God saved him, and then he took that position. When he was recruiting, there was only one spot, so he laid his hands on the resumes and prayed. After he prayed, he heard a voice in his ear say my name. He picked up my resume and looked at it, thinking, This won't work. Then, he went to the office the next morning and prayed again, and he heard my name again. This was an audible voice; God is so amazing! Then, he prayed with his hands on the resume again the third day and heard my name again. That's when he called me in for an interview. God, the miracle I experienced was so amazing; it exceeded my imagination. Later, I knew that God was my寶貝, so I held on to God all the way until today.
In addition, we must have a global perspective in whatever we do. We must have a global perspective on projects and a global perspective on businesses. Don't confuse the goals. Many Christians become confused as they do things, and they begin to know good and evil. They teach people not to know good and evil all day long but know good and evil themselves. They teach people not to be sad but are sad all day long themselves. Many of the people I minister to have these problems. These people are not called Christians; they are called muddled.
In order to have a global perspective, which means understanding what God's plan is and what God wants to do, I began to read the Bible. I read so many copies that they were worn out. Finally, I read that God's plan is to build His glorious temple on earth. Because Jesus Christ is the head of the church, the church is the body of Jesus Christ, the church is the temple of God, and it is filled with the Spirit of God. Don't think that all the ones with signs are the temple of God. After all, cults can also hang signs. Why do people get healed as soon as they touch the body of Jesus Christ when they come to the temple of God? Because the church is the body of Jesus Christ. This is the source of God's power, which is released through the church. God wants to build His temple on earth, and through the church, all things are unified in Jesus Christ. God's wisdom, authority, power, and glory are all accomplished through the church.
We must get rid of these kinds of wrong teachings, such as: I am not Jesus, how can I do what Jesus Christ did? Then I would ask, We are in the body of Jesus Christ, how can we not do this? Eternal life is being one with God, eternal life is walking with God. Our salvation is restoring the image of God that we were created in, which is talked about in the first chapter of Genesis. We must draw God's authority, power, dignity, and glory from God. Can you have this kind of global perspective? Later you will find that there are quite a few overlapping parts in each chapter of the 101 Course.
If you understand, you will know that building the church is our Mingding Destiny. Now there is also a misconception that you want to save everyone. Actually, you can't save them because some people don't have faith at all. No matter how many miracles they experience, they still talk nonsense. The kingdom of heaven is like throwing a net down,捞把 everything in the sea. The good ones are collected, the bad ones are rejected. But many churches do the opposite. They捞一把, the good and the bad remains and the good is no longer good . The bad garbage remains in the body of Jesus, how can God live them? Of course the garbage that I talked about is not what people refer to, it is in God's eyes.
How does God see if a person is a寶貝? Just look at whether this person has the image of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. If this person has the image of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, isn't this a寶貝? The most serious problem people have is that they only care about themselves. If we want to enter God's plan, we must enter God's plan according to God's word. You can experience God's grace in this kind of church, and you can touch the body of Jesus Christ and have your issue of blood healed.
Some time ago, there was indeed someone with an issue of blood who was healed among us, but she still did not change her bad habits. Until today, we have a habit: whoever wants to leave, you can go in peace, because we cannot put garbage into the body of Jesus Christ. Jesus does this, and we work together with Jesus to bring 寶貝 to the temple of God and build the temple of God. At this time, we can affirm that we are 寶貝 in God's eyes, each one being a diamond the size of a brick, with rubies, sapphires, diamonds, emeralds, etc., all of which are extremely high-end. So, you must know God's plan and run towards God's plan, and God's power will be greatly manifested among us.
Why are the brothers and sisters who come to us healed as soon as they touch or pray? Because this place is the body of Jesus Christ, because there is a group of disciples who are willing to offer themselves to God, and because there is a group of寶貝 in God's eyes, so this place has God's presence. So, receiving grace here doesn't explain anything. It only shows that this place has God's presence. People who completely dedicate themselves are called disciples; those who give up everything for Jesus are called disciples. In the future, will you be willing to be 寶貝 in God's eyes, going from believer to disciple?
I have a small request, including that those who listen to this lesson in the future should know clearly that it is not that I want money. Let someone who does not tithe go in peace. He can receive grace for free among us, and then let him go in peace. This does not need to be persuaded, because tithing is nothing in the face of God's grace. The woman with the issue of blood spent all her savings and then came to touch Jesus, and she was healed with one touch. If Jesus asked her to tithe, she would probably have a hard time.
Why are people poor? Because their hearts are poor. Giving is the beginning of blessing. If a person does not give, but eats all the seeds, how can he harvest in the future? If you boil the seeds for rice in the spring, what will you harvest in the autumn? That is so foolish. Why give? Giving is to scatter the seeds of blessing into God's kingdom, and doing so will definitely be rewarded. Some of our brothers and sisters are powerful. The time they sold their houses was the best time for house prices, and everyone was抢着买. These people are all givers, but giving is definitely not a transaction. Giving is a concrete expression of our faith in God, because God does not need our money.
So, when someone says to me with a boastful tone, Teacher, I tithed! I will definitely discipline you, because what is so great about giving? Can you be a disciple of Jesus Christ and be willing to offer your life to God? To be a 寶貝 in God's eyes, you must be willing to be a disciple of Jesus Christ, receive God's grace, and be able to pass on God's grace; be able to become someone who builds the church, be able to not only give a tenth, but completely dedicate yourself. Give our lives to God, be completely shaped by God, and live in God's blessings all our lives.
Having experienced so much, the key question is can you figure out what people live for? Since I met Jesus Christ, I was born willing to live for Jesus Christ, and I am willing to die for Him. I'm not getting grace and going in peace; I'm grabbing Jesus Christ tightly after receiving His grace. Because He is the Lord and Savior of my life, my grace, and all my good is nothing outside of Him.
Conclusion
When we understand God's plan, we can see that life is all empty, and understand that people need eternal life, so we choose to walk with God and enter God's plan. This is the purpose of our life, and this is called Mingding Destiny. The version two of 《101课程》 has been raised by quite a bit. We put the concept of Mingding Destiny in every class and we put the concept of the church in every class, and will will completely demolish Our former world values system. When we are willing to repent and turn to God, we will find that there is extreme abundance in Jesus Christ, and what we have received now is only a small part, a drop in the ocean.
If you dig up a small piece of gold, you will understand that this place is a gold mine; if you pick up a gemstone, you will understand that this place is a gemstone mine. Similarly, if you experience a little bit of God's grace, you will know that there is extreme abundance of glory in it. The purpose of the 101 Course is to push everyone into the Mingding Destiny, so that we can all run on the road of building God's glorious church together. May God bless everyone!.
